TAO11:
I asked you for 5 different oceans of tears.

What is this you’re shedding? Oga try again.

TAO11:
Yes, Edo fraudsters Gabriel Omohinmin and Charles Kumolu. Cry me 5 oceans.

There Were No 'Tribes' In Nigeria Before Colonialism. Discuss.

Before the British interruption of our existence, there was no concept of belonging to a 'tribe' or an 'ethnic group' in Nigeria.

The idea that speaking Igbo made you an 'Igbo man' was non-existent.

The idea that speaking Yoruba made you a 'Yoruba man' was non-existent.

The idea that speaking Hausa made you a 'Hausa man' was non-existent.

What identified you was your ancestry.

NOT the language you spoke.

An Egba man did not regard himself as being of one group as an Ijebu man, or a man from Kwara, even though they all spoke the Yoruba language.

Likewise an Arochukwu man did not consider himself of the same ''Igbo tribe'' as a man from Okigwe or Onitsha.

This was why in the pre-colonial era, we had many WARS within those groups.

They did NOT regard themselves as single, united entities with shared ancestry. Because they were not.

It was the BRITISH who invented the idea that all those who spoke one language belonged to one ''tribe'' OR ''ethnic group''.

They did this in order to create BLOCS OF DIVISION among previously integrated, fluid peoples. (Divide and rule)

Sociologically and anthropologically, the language-based 'tribe' concept made no sense, because there was so much migration in precolonial times that one group of Igbo speakers could migrate to an area peopled by Yoruba speakers, and within a generation or two, they would turn Yoruba speakers themselves, and forget all about the Igbo language, and vice versa. This happened ALL OVER 'Nigeria' countless times over many centuries.

There are many people today who consider themselves 'Yoruba', who actually have their true ancestry traceable to Eastern Nigeria.

Just as there are many who call themselves 'Igbo' today, whose ancestors migrated from Yoruba speaking territories, less than 200 or 300 years ago.

It is time we DITCH the COLONIAL INVENTION called ''tribe''.

IT IS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY MEANINGLESS, AND A FRAUDULENT COLONIAL IMPOSITION.

capitalzero:
I put samuel Johnson as a source of reliable information on history. Can u pls tell me your source of your useless theory ? You are spinning out rubbish theory that you cannot defend among scholars. What is a tribe?
Define ethnicity?
Keep on blaming colonial master for your woe and misery.

KingOKON:

TAO11:
Erelu and the Palace ke??

Oh you means the Edo fraudsters — Gabriel Omohinmin and Charles Kumolu.

TAO11:
Did he manage to say something this time around?



Still nothing. Okay!

TAO11:
What does he have to say this time?


Oh, nothing new. The same old debunked crap. Okay!

TAO11:
Gabriel Omohinmin and Charles Kumolu are Edo frauds.

Thank God I checked the columnists name. I knew something was terribly wrong.

This has no meaning to me actually.

Nairalanders can’t keep pretending to be amused by your dry jokes laugh just to massage your battered ego.

Focus your energy on saving Benin kingdom from my grip.

nisai:
Tao11 has really battered you beyond rehabilitation. No amount of psychotherapy can cure you. So you are seeing Tao11 in me?

I am honored!

nisai:
Scram!

TAO11:
For the umpteenth time, I am not obliged to prove/disprove your own claim.

Didn’t you pass through a logic classroom to have learnt onus probandi?

You make a claim. You substantiate it with a verifiable evidence — in this case a video of the interview, an example of which you claimed to have seen go viral.

Because you actually hope that this is funny, I will now beg fellow Nairalanders to please laugh at the count of three.

Please let’s laugh at the count of three. 1-2-3 go: Hahahahahahahaha! Feel fulfilled?

nisai:
The pain of rejection from who? an already married lady? No chance again bro even if u wan try.

Simbrixton:
there is opc in edo delta Kogi Kwara which are non sw states tho in small number but indigenes join it is not necessarily a yoruba group

nisai:
We don hear. Oya bring evidence and logics or just shut up and cry silently.

Simbrixton:
binis hate for yoruba is just to feel among its because igbos hate yorubas na copy copy level

TAO11:
Okay, you can’t substantiate your claim with verifiable evidence? How then do you intend to save Benin kingdom from my grip?

TAO11:
[/s] Erelu and Oba Akiolu I know.

Edo frauds (Gabriel Omohinmin and Charles Kumolu) I don’t know, and no one knows.

Bring forth the viral video you talked about. Save Benin kingdom NOW.

nisai:
You are simply a wailing sissy not worthy to be called a man at all. Perhaps we should call you the 'female' and give Tao11 the 'male' since she has shown beyond doubt that she is equal to 1000 useless Edo wailing males like you.

No wonder Edo ladies are all over Italy hustling with their hole at the expense of their health while you useless ki eran ma je ile males sit in your enclave in Benin seeping burukutu.

nisai:
I understand. You cannot believe what an 'ordinary female' is doing to you so you resort to blackmail for face saving

Even if she was a male disguising as a female, what has that got to do with the debate? You obviously just do not have nothing in your skull for the debate. Quit and stop wailing 'male, he, man' all over the places.

She is my person. So stop throwing false accusations typical of a defeated loony.

Simbrixton:
na now I know u be omo omo, bibi people dey opc for edo state even ishan too so it has changed dere ethnicity abi?

gregyboy:
D guy na mumu, why pretend to be another tribe, if you're not evil or a coward

TAO11:
A wonderfully dumb comment:

More like saying, yOu’re OyO, bUt yOu fLy OdUdUwa bAnNeR iNstEaD of OyO baNnEr. Sighs & SMH.


Listen up dumb dumb, he flied what he flied because Itsekiri is part and parcel of Oduduwa.

Too much for an insecure Bini to stomach?

Cc: Simbrixton

TAO11:
I will tolerate no stylish distractions.

You make a claim. You prove it with verifiable evidence.

Bring forth the supposed viral video (the only verifiable evidence of a 21st century interview) which you claimed to have seen.

Save Benin kingdom from my grip NOW!

TAO11:
Oba Akiolu and the Erelu I know. And the world knows.

The Edo fraudsters (Gabriel Omohinmin and Charles Kumolu) I don’t know. And nobody knows.

Bring forward the so-called viral video you claimed to have seen. That is the only interview verifiable.

Save Benin kingdom NOW.

TAO11:
Is this the video I sent you to bring?

Before it gets too late, save Benin kingdom NOW!

TAO11:
Edo people are well known for fraud. Case study of the inconsequential columnists, Gabriel Omohinmin and his fellow partner in crime Charles Kumolu.

It’s the 21st century provide the video clip (which you claim was viral) and prove this point in your favour or shush!

You’re dealing with someone whose IQ is light years above yours, okay?

In other words: You made a claim, and as such you have a burden to prove your own claim by bringing forward verifiable evidence — an example of which you claimed to have seen go viral. Not the Edo frauds of Gabriel Omohinmin and Charles Kumolu.

I am not to help you prove your case, neither do I have any burden to disprove you. #OnusProbandi.

TAO11:
I expected that your reverse-mode Benin brain won’t grab a thing.

People debunk widespread rumors in the public sphere.

No where did I state that he debunked his own supposed prior statement which he never even made to start with.

Cry me some Edo fraudster, Gabriel Omohinmin.

TAO11:
He called me because he is convinced that all that is needed to crush several Benin lying men is just one Yoruba lady.

Have some shame. Save Benin kingdom now. Otherwise, you may lose your prestigious job as Oba’s slave.
